Biography
Chukwuka Chukwuma Ekweani () (born 16 July 1995), better known by his stage name Ckay (stylized as CKay), is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer, who is the co-founder and CEO of Boyfriend Music. He was formerly signed to Chocolate City, a member of Warner Music Group independent label services ADA before joining Warner Music Africa (formerly known as Warner Music South Africa) and Atlantic Records. His international hit single "Love Nwantiti", also known as "Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ahh)", was released in 2019 by Chocolate City. On 29 March 2022, the song debuted at number one, following the launch of the Billboard Afrobeats chart. On 9 May 2022, it became the first-ever African song to surpass one billion streams on Spotify and has since been deemed "the biggest hit in African history". Asa Asika signed Ckay to The Plug, under management during the early peak of his global career as Ckay's manager.
